Also the bullet that went through Kevin wasn't a Bullet. It was a drug. Not only did the two main families not lose anyone in the departure but none of the significant GR characters did either. Patti, Meg, Kevin-wife. Meg is the worst. She's not even a believer. Just really vindictive.

Megs mother died in the restaurant and Meg missed her last words cause she was getting high in the restroom. If Kevin was shot by a real bullet how did he go to the Hotel California drug coma?

Klungar posted:Meg was also mad that nobody cared about her grieving of her mother because the Departure stole her thunder. Exactly. She's the most petty, lovely, character on the show. And thus is a show with a lot of hosed up people. That's something I like about this show compared to the Walking Dead. Both shows are full of psychos but only one acknowledges it.

Season 1 was much better. Almost nothing is explained and the whole thing is really left up to the viewer to interpret. Season 2 had its big mystery revealed at the end and kind of ruined the whole "Let the Mystery be." I still think both seasons are the best TV I have even seen.

Last Chance posted:What? I'm just talking about the intro where the woman is singing about people disappearing while visuals of disappeared people are splashed across the screen. Yeah. I don't think the intro song is referring specifically to the departure only. It's about all the unusual occurrences in the show. But like I said: the show is ambiguous enough to let veiwers create thier own viewpoints.

Season 2 was still good. I love that Jarden has its own version of Kevin. But instead of a hosed up cop, it's a hosed up fireman. Both trying to deal with feeling powerless while being the authority of their respective communities. Both have daughters that join the GR. I'm sure there is more similarities.

oliwan posted:I mean, let me put it this way: You're season 2 critisism only works if you think there is magic happening and not just delusions of crazy people. Doesn't one of the characters actually address the magical negros issue? It seems like imaginary Pattie said something about it but I could be wrong.

Correct. It is about the departure. Is it only allowed to be about one specific thing? I would argue the intro is also saying something about Lost.

Last Chance posted:I'm rewatching season one right now. It's really fun to rewatch when you don't have to wait week-by-week and you already know where the characters end up. The first Matt-focused episode: ep 3, "Two Boats and a Helicopter" is loving crazy. I forget that Matt smashes his assailant's face into the fuckin ground. Lmao I really like how twisted the roles of these characters are. Cop that hides bodies, firefighter that starts fire, Priest that certainly doesn't turn the other cheek.

axeil posted:I disagree. I really like Meg because she's broken just like everyone else, except she's expressed it as trolling everyone and being a gigantic rear end in a top hat instead of trying to drown yourself in a lake or attacking anyone religious and burning down their house. Meg is not really a believer. She's just being vindictive and using the GR to get her vengeance or whatever. And the funny thing about the GR is that none of them had family members lost in the departure. Pattie, Meg, Evy and Laurie. They are mad because they aren't special.

Patties husband choked on a chicken bone. Megs mom died the day before the departure. Evy lived in a town where no one departed. Laurie lost a wad of meat growing in her stomach. I think Nora may be the only cast member who really lost anything in the departure.

5 RING SHRIMP posted:I think it's just that you can't go into the Leftovers expecting any sort of answers regarding what happened during the disappearance. Watching LOST week to week for years it was absolutely impossible to not come up with theories about what was going on and what things meant. Not that the character development and themes and poo poo were worthless once you definitively found out they were all really dead, but the theories were impossible to ignore. With the Leftovers we at least know we aren't going to get answers so dips into the mythicism or supernatural or you whatever you want to call it happen and you don't have to search for" physical" literal meaning. This is what I thought. But delta bravos in the thread keep repeating it when nobody is even discussing "theories." "I like season 1 better than season 2" "Lol LOST really messed people up"

tomapot posted:The time commitment is ridiculous though, it is something like 120 episodes. I ran up against the same thing with my West Wing rewatch, the tv seasons back then ran 18+ episodes. A lot harder than binging through today's 10 episode seasons. I'll probably get back to it one day, but so much other TV to get through first. It's hard to believe they did that many episodes and very little, if any, was filler. Each episode continued the story on the island while at the same time having a pretty self contained flashback(or forward or sideways) for one of the characters that tied back in to what was happening on the island. Kinda want to rewatch now.

I would watch a season where the departed come come back exactly as they were with absolutely no explanation of what happened. Just focus on the returnees dealing with a world that moved on without them.

JethroMcB posted:Yeah, the book is really good but so, so different than what ended up on screen. I think really only Jill's story stayed true to the original text...they backgrounded all the stuff with Kevin and Amy, teasing but never committing, and Laurie's story/the GR obviously went in a wildly different direction. I am not sure who Amy is.

Confirmed: Season 1 of the Leftovers is literally on fire in a garbage can. Also, it was so bad that people that liked it are actual insane people with severe mental disabilities. This is fact, not opinion, so there is no reason to qualify it.

People didn't like the GR stuff in season 1? I thought the GR was one of the big draws of the show. Everything related to them is pretty amazing in season 1 and then 2 pretty much drops it in favor of the Meg poo poo-show.

Escobarbarian posted:The GR in s1 is absolutely one of the main lovely things about that season. Regardless of the thematic sense they might make, minutes and minutes of people showing notebooks to each other is just objectively uninteresting television and something that clearly would work way better in the original book. I bet they don't write more than 50 words total in the entire season. Those scenes are interesting because of the visual storytelling. MiddleOne posted:Season 2 by comparison was an almost perfect season of television. I think this here is why the differences in opinion arise. Season 2 was much more like a traditional TV series and I suppose that's what most people really want. It was pretty straight forward and most of the loose ends got neatly tied up.

JethroMcB posted:the trampoline scene, like everything else on the show, is about 9/11. the poses that Nora and Erika achieve invoke "The Falling Man" (and Tom Junod's Esquire article of same title about how some revisionist history has tried to erase WTC jumpers from the day's events.) the wu-tang clan, being a seminal NYC musical act of the era, is the only fitting soundtrack. by putting the wu-tang symbol on her arm, Nora is forever marked by 9/11, just as we all are, psychologically. What's 9/11?
